Default first wrx engine

Started on saturday, pulling the engine out on my bugeye wrx, had it ready to come out in 3 hours, but spent 2-3hrs trying to get those stubborn dowel pins off, had a frewn show me a trick, got it out and continued doing the cam belt, all seals, water pump etc, clutch, rocker cover gaskets and new unrestricted up pipe, putting it in, everything went well, little bit of pain lining up the engine, started her up, ran well except theres air in the p/s system so now its noisy as hell, so tommorrows agenda is to bleed cooling system and p/s system, but yea im happy with the results, so speed bumps along the way such as parts and having no car to run around with, my first wrx engine, im a apprentice for honda so ive only done honda engines, but yea could of gone smoother but could of gone worst. looking forward to doing more mods.

cheers for reading

naa man nice work, would be pretty scary to pull the engine out of your car yourself and hope everything is 100% when you put it back in
